Capital SouthEast Connector a Perfect Fit for a Growing Region

The Sacramento region has undergone a tremendous transformation in recent years. This is apparent in the revitalization of downtown, led by the construction of the Golden 1 Center, the city’s evolution to become the Farm-to-Fork capital of America, the economic development of our suburbs, and the vast migration of Bay Area residents to the Sacramento area in search of affordable homes and quality of life. With this growth comes tremendous opportunity and responsibility for local leaders to ensure transportation infrastructure keeps pace with these changes to safely connect the region’s communities with jobs, housing, and a thriving marketplace.​No other local transportation project is more uniquely fit to address the needs of this growing region than the Capital SouthEast Connector (Connector), (read more here)

​Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration

The Capital SouthEast Connector Joint Powers Authority proposes to improve Kammerer Road between the Interstate 5 (I-5)/Hood Franklin Road Interchange and the State Route 99 (SR-99)/Kammerer Road/Grant Line Road Interchange. A new four-lane expressway will be constructed between I-5 and Bruceville Road and existing Kammerer Road will be improved to a four-lane thoroughfare between Bruceville Road and SR-99.

The Connector JPA has studied the effects this project may have on the environment. Our “Initial Study” shows that the proposed project will not significantly affect the quality of the environment with mitigation incorporated, and thus a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared.

These documents are available for you to review and that it is the Connector’s JPA’s intent to adopt an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project. See here.The comment period has been extended until April 2, 2018. See Notice of Intent Here. Written comments should be sent to Derek Minnema, Executive Director, Capital SouthEast Connector JPA, 10640 Mather Blvd. #120 Mather, CA 95655 ​
